Three sounding blows landed on Kingsley again, his two hands and legs were tied with chains, stretching the hands and legs widely apart.

G.B burst into laughter and landed another blow on him, “I told you Kingsley, I am smarter than you”

“you fucking bastard, you gonna pay for this, I swear” Kingsley said almost in a whisper.

Another blow landed on him again, followed by another and another continuously

“That’s Enough”, Don shouted, walking towards them with three of the brothers. He stared at Kingsley angrily and stop right in front of him.

“Why did you betray this brotherhood?” He asked slowly, trying to suppress his anger.
Kingsley raised himself up slowly to face him

“I didn’t betray the hood boss, I swear I didn’t”

“If you didn’t, then why did you leave your brothers?”

“G.B is the enemy here boss” he answered slowly

Don glance a look at G.B first and back at Kingsley, he never did believe Kingsley could betray them in the first place but he needs to take measures.

“What do you mean?” Don asked

Kingsley explained what transpired between them on the day of the attack and his counter measures using the K-gate…….

“is this true?” he turned to ask G.B

“I don’t expect you to listen to this hypocrisy liar and betrayer boss, everybody in this hood can testify he betrayed us and even tried to kill me”.

The Confused boss stared at the two men he had chosen as his favorite, he didn’t know who to believe, though he knew about the heated rivalry between the two, G.B never listen to Kingsley all because he was promoted before him. All he believes in are evidence and he thinks of how to get one.

he turned back at Kingsley swiftly “the lady beside you is the daughter of Mr. William Davis, what are you doing at lawyer Abimbola Olawale’s residence and what is your relationship with the lady?”

Answer the question I just ask you motherf..ker” Don yelled, repeating the question.

Kingsley breath in heavily, he coughed and split out blood from his mouth. He had done that to delay answering Don’s question, thinking fast of the possible answer to give, he knew his response depend on his fate and that of Jane

“I don’t know her boss, neither do I know she’s any Mr William’s daughter”, I met her along the roadside standing beside a faulty car, she had pleaded for my help and I tried to help her fix the car but I couldn’t because the engine totally need replacement while she begged she was late for a meeting and plead again for my help” he added, that was the possible answer he could give that moment, he wonder if he hadn’t put her into trouble now
“You were sitting beside her in the man’s residence, why didn’t you leave after dropping her off? you expect us to believe your fucking story?” G.B yelled,

“damn you fucking bastard, you expect me to leave a pretty damsel like that without going through her pants?” Kingsley shouted out.

“bastard son of a bitch, I will”………. “Enough”,
Don shouted stopping G.B from hitting him again, “stay back now” he ordered.

Don heaved a sigh in confusion, he knew Kingsley possibly cannot betray them as he was made to believe, he turned, looking at both of them.

“Release Kingsley, let him have a bath and give him food and water, but he remains here until I finalize my findings and nobody dare disobey what I just said” Don ordered, he turned and proceed out of the dark hall with the brothers who came with him.
